Most women would use regular creams and lotions in the hopes that these can prevent stretch marks from forming during pregnancy. But using regular creams may not work as these do not contain the needed ingredients to help make your skin more elastic and resist tearing. They only help smoothen out your skin and even out your skin tone. Aside from this, they won't be able to do much when it comes to preventing stretch marks from forming.
This is why you will need stretch mark creams, which are made especially for this situation. These creams are made for increasing the elasticity of the skin, which is not normally needed during normal circumstances. But because you may be anticipating stretch marks to form, you will need a more specific cream to suit your needs.
These stretch mark creams work either by directly supplying your skin with the proteins that it needs to become more elastic, or it stimulates the production of these proteins by your body. By increasing the collagen and elastin stores of your body, the body will have more building materials to increase the elasticity of the skin.
Aside from their specific action, stretch mark creams also have the same skin nourishing effects as the other regular lotions and creams. This way, you won't have to worry about your skin becoming uglier as you will still have the moisturizing and rejuvenating effects of your regular cream.
Another good thing about these specialized creams is that they may be a lot safer for you and for your baby as they are made especially during this time. Regular creams may have some adverse effects on your baby due to the number of artificial ingredients that they include in their formula. Stretch mark creams on the other hand, have to be safer and take the health of your baby into account when applying this cream.
By using these specialized creams, you are greatly reducing the risk of stretch marks forming, but it does not mean that it will work 100% of the time. There are times when the skin can be stretched past its limit no matter what you try to do. When this happens, the dermal layer of the skin can still break and resulting in the formation of stretch marks.
Even though these creams may not work 100% of the time, it may still be a good idea to apply them on the skin in contrast to not doing anything about it. But be sure to use one that has a good probability of working or you might just end up wasting your money. Check for the reliability of a cream by asking around and doing some research as you will not be able to take back any marks that may have been prevented if you only used a more potent cream.
So prevent stretch marks from forming by using the more specialized stretch mark cream when pregnant. Don't rely on regular creams or other methods that are not proven to work. Go with the most effective and proven way of preventing and eliminating stretch marks.
